‘The theme of Asian culture is very popular now. Mariupol youth is  interested in the countries of the East. I have been working with children for a long time, so I decided to organize this festival at their request. In addition to professionals, adolescents themselves will take part in the event. For them, this is an opportunity to demonstrate their talents to the general public and find friends by interests,’ the author of the project Ilona Arkhangelskaya said.

The guests of the festival will remember photo zones, tea ceremony, master classes of athletes, craftsmen, artists and connoisseurs of oriental culture.
